Local 15 reports that some of those passengers, who had a successful cruise, were among those who had to evacuate a burning bus within minutes of the fire starting on Interstate 10 near Wilcox on Thursday.

The bus, according to the report, was a "burned out shell."

"At first you were worried about the cruise ship because we were on a Carnival Cruise and we get on the bus and this happens, it puts everything in perspective," Tremaine Johnson told Local 15.

According to the report, there were no serious injuries, officials said.
